[He's not taking it personally, in any case. He's pushed people away enough to know that it has nothing to do with them and everything to do with him-- or in this case, with her.

The honest answer is that no, he doesn't know. But Bruce hasn't made this conclusion lightly. Far from it. So he lays out his reasoning as if it were an experiment whose method he's recounting, letting her draw her own conclusion or argue against his hypothesis.]

The evidence isn't consistent. The... first time it happened, the very first time, he hurt someone I care about. But he didn't kill her. And I think-- I've wondered, recently, if he wasn't as confused at what was happening as I was.

[Moving on quickly,] The next time he saw her, the next two times, he saved her life. She said he was-- almost kind to her. In my future, he saves Tony's life. He's made a friend here. [Bruce isn't sanguine about the Hulk's relationship with the Archive, but he accepts it.]

He's as terrible as I told you he is. He's killed, destroyed countless lives. But it's... not always. So no, I don't know for sure. You'd have to ask him. We don't consult.
